WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT

טמא and טהור

These terms classify ritual status. English “dirty/clean” is misleading because the Mishnah is not describing ordinary hygiene. The course uses “ritually impure/pure” when the halakhic category is intended and lets the specific tractate explain the practical consequences.
